New Year Di Beberapa Dunia

When a new year is around, the whole world celebrates it like one big family.
The ways of celebrations,

however, may vary from country to country. Read on and find out how New Year is celebrated and what
games are played to make the event merrier!
The first day of January marks the beginning of the new year in the USA.
It is the time to make new resolutions and celebrate the federal holiday
with a lot of pomp and show. The celebrations at Time Square, New
York City are particularly watched out worldwide to see how grand new
year gala can get around the world!
All New Year parties here, big or small, have a theme or dress code. All
attendees have to wear a mask, which they must uncover only once the
clock strikes midnight. Not to mention, the fresh arrival is given a roaring
welcome with opening of champagne bottles, which is an absolute must.
The following New Year day is generally celebrated with family at home.
It is also made special by either visiting loved ones or going out for a
picnic or playing football.
Though Pope Gregory III started the Gregorian Calendar in 1582, it was officially adopted in the UK only on the
first of January 1752. Ever since, it’s a much awaited festival in Britain, when people honor ancient traditions
hand in hand with contemporary ideas of celebrating new year around the world.
Among the popular ancient customs in UK practiced even today, “First-footing” is one that suggests that after
midnight, only a dark-haired male visitor should first enter the house carrying coal, bread and salt for good luck
and prosperity. In some parts of UK, it is considered ideal to give holy or mistletoe on New Year’s Eve to wish
prosperity.
Giving gifts is a prominent tradition that lives on. Then there is a custom of being noisy in the new year. So the
parties are kept as noisy and dazzling as possible with bonfires, fire crackers, ringing bells and blowing
whistles, horns & trumpets.
Keeping details aside, people in UK like to party pretty much like everyone else enjoy themselves during new
year around the world. People here also attend themed parties, salsa dances and live performances to make
celebrations memorable. In addition, cruises to England are getting increasingly popular among citizens to
enter the new year partying away on the sea, watching the dazzling city skyline from a distance.
